ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR,

TIIURSDAY JUNE 15,'1854.
$VP Wa are requested to state that the Rev. M.
PUCKET will preach at Jeter's Church on Sunday
afternoon next, at 3-o'clock.
Eot Supper.
IT will be seen that many of the ladies of the place
propose to afford a hot supper on the 21st inst., for
which the charge is very moderate. We have no
doubt but that it will be an elegant affiir. The object
Is a laudable one, and we should all go, if here at the

of means. Mr. W. B. GiFFIN has recently opened
a new store at the place, in which lie keeps a variety
of choice and cheap goods to supply the public wants

A Cotton Bloom.
A' cotton bloom, fully blown, was exhibited to us
yesterday. It is from the plantation owned by Col
JOnN BAUSKETT.
Errata.
We thought of apologising for various errata in our
last issue; but it is unnecessary. Once in a while,
our readers will excuse their occurrence. Proof-read.

Very Nice.
MR. LEwts CorA R has our thanks for several very
firm and white cabbage heads of this Spring's growth.
We pass by the garden where these cabbages grow
twice every day; and we must beleive that it bears
off the palm of excellence from every thing of its class
within ten miles of the place. If ie, nho makes two
blades of grass grow where only one grew before. is a

Curryton Academies.
WE congratulate all interested upon the manifest
suecess of these Academies. We learn that there are
now-over one hundred pupils in attendance in both
th-e malo and female departments. The situation of
these Institutions is a healthy and delightful one. The
supporters of them are spirited and liberal men. Board
of the best kind can be had at very convenient dis
tances. The teachers are reputed to be entirely efli
cient. We can not see w'ay Curryton should not be
come one of the most prominent seats of education in
the State. To the public generally, we cominend
these schools as being worthy of a large support.

Growing Darker.
It has been long understood at the South, that the
Aholitionists proper are a fanatic and frenzied party,
with scarcely a single sentiment of real respect for
either human laws or the teachings of Divine Wisdom.
It has been long known to us that they are bent upon
accomplishing the crusade they have instittled against
our Southern system of negro servitude, he the conse.

But recent developments iu soimte of the prominitent
Northern States are well calculated to fill the most
hopeful with serious fears lest they have been hutging
to their hosotns itt this particular a most del tsive piant
tom. Upon tle passage of a measure, which barely
recognizes our equality in the Union wit iout confr
ring upon ts practicalty any real benefits, wve have
seen monster meetings convened to denottnce as trai
tors all who contributed in th least to that end. The
Northern Press has come to us teeming (tie exceptions
are rare) with indigntant repudiatiotns of the course of
such of their Congressional represettatives as favored
this recognition of Southern rights. And mnore than
this, within the brief space that has elapsed siice the
passage of the Nebraska bill, direct e idene-C*S of pop
ular fury in tle opposite section of this Conifderacy
have become too palpably manifest to be mistaken by
any among us. Tite disgraceful secis of riot, rebel
lion and miurder which have grown otit of thie trial
and rendition of the ftgitive slave. ANTtONY B;RNs,
are prominent among these evidences. It is useless
to say that this comes from Iloston alone, oreven fromt
New ltitland alone. If the press of thIe Northernt

it pretends to represent, the sympailiv with this out

Vacation.
Ov-r Court of Fquity has at length gotten through
n-ith its public session for the year 1851, and now we
are all, Solicitors, Litigants and Officers-all in va
cation. The long, hot and dull season of summer
proper has now fairly set in. Cotton issquaring rapid
ly and corn in soen forward spots is evincing a very
observable inclination to tassel. The reason thus far
has been a propihious one, and vegitation is as luxuri
ant as the heart could desiro. One good fellow we
kiw or, who has begin already to " lay by" a parL
of his crnp. He'll he in vacation soon. Many far
mers will have to strug-te on yet a few tough week"
before the days of their vacation will arrive. But to
most of thien tthose days are almost in view.-Busi
tIess itt and abliut our little town is growing duller and
tntller. And the merchants will soon be in vaca
tion too. (Sorne of them have been enjoying that
beatitude for a six month already.)-Our iechanics
still fimd sometlhing to do. Houses must Ie built, car
rianes tmuttst he repaired, pot-hooks must he mended,
and old hoots must he footed ; so that our carpenters,
and brick-layers. and carriage-makers, and black
smnithr, atid shoe-makers, still find something to cm
ploy then. Ilitt even they, by pslhing in the early
morn and htrryin up at evening's close, can find
soit three hours of vacation almost every (lay at noon
tide.-The tasking seasoi wit h our planters is close at
lianil. when hinditreds of our negroes by a little extra
briskness gain a large portion of every day, and per
haps all of Saturday, as their own, to use ax they
plea-e. 'Who will say that they too have not their
vacation ? As yet, the boys and girls of our Acade

Co-rroN-For the past two weeks our market has
been quite in a languil state, and prices have slight
lv declined on all gualities. We however received
advices fron Liverpool on yesterday which were ro
garded favorable to Cotton, consequently a better
feeling prevails, and in sone instances an advance
in prices, has been realized. We are unable to
give satisfetory quotations, as the transactions are,
and have been for some tine so limited. We quote

OBITUARY.
IED, at his residence in L'irens District, on the
iT inst.. D r. TuonAs TEAGUE. lie was boirn Dec.
1st. 1789. Ilis disease was Chronic Cystitis, which
caused lgrent suill-ring, yet lie bore it all with pa
tiettee, chara.-terizinz only relleetive minds support
el by Christian faith anchored in his IPeavenly
Father, fully believing his providences were all es
tablished in infinite wisdon sanctioned by all his
holv attributes.
lle had been actively engaged in his profession
about thirty years, and so feelinaly. that he continu
ed to ride for the relief of suffering nature in hi
neilhmrborhool, -iven when suh caused his own
pai, and atia list the ad vice of his friends. Finagy,
when lie had done his woork below, lie took his bed,
around which was shed many an anxious tear by
hi atfeetionate family. Medical skill afforded and
exhausted. all earthly aid hoipeless. and feeling con
s.-ins of his approtaeliintrchange, he often prayed that
It, might depart and lie at rest.
Rarely has it been the loot of tie writer to witnee
sieb ahiding faith as lie possessed and expressed.
li Christi:nity. hewas a man of action, not of words.
Perhaps few have ever died more generally be
love,1, and we tru-t that his truly bereaved com
panion, fanily and friends may find consolation in
these r'flections, wipe away their tears, look up to
God and say, as his actions had alwnys said, " Let
me die the death of the righteous, and let my last
end he like his."
The veil of death is spread. Peace to hi remains.
